How Long Does It Take A Memory To Drown Lyrics

Say it's still snowing and the lines're down

If you like pull yourself up the chair and sit down

You'll have to pardon me while I'll try to drink this down

It seems the warmest thing you left around

No I hadn't noticed that the fire was dead

I've been feelin' cold but I hadn't thought about that yet

By the way friend what time is it how long does it take a memory to drown

How long does it take for a love to die

How long till my feelings find a place for they can hide

All my friends say that time will bring me round

How long does it take a memory to drown

[ ac.guitar + harmonica ]

By the way do you know if the mail runs today

No I'm just watchin' for some bills that need to pay

No I don't know just why it is she's gone Lord he knows I've never done her
wrong

Yes I know it's late you hate to leave this way

No thanks a lot girl but I guess I'd better stay

Won't you try me again some brighter day

Right now I've got these memories to drown

How long does it take...
